the analogy, but let me talk about the swamp for a second. the swamp sucks. it is going to destroy your children's future growth and opportunities. the are taking too much out of society. we have to break it down and demolished the swamp. the kid over here is going to run for president and i am going to back him. the swamp is an unmitigated system of special interest swapping. they are politics. ♪

♪ president trump: what a group. unlessr, you can't win you when the state of ohio. [applause] president trump: i am thrilled to be back in ohio and i am proud to be here with the incredible carpenters and laborers and all the members of the international union of operating engineers. i appreciate your support. great, so amazing and right from the beginning. each of you is living proof that american workers are truly the best in the world. [applause] dalton --trump: rick thank you very much for hosting us.

where are you? thank you. nice looking guys. [applause] alsodent trump: we are pleased to be joined by two members of my, secretary of transportation and secretary of labor. [applause] they have done: a fantastic job. we are especially happy to have some of our great ohio leaders are today. lieutenant governor mary taylor. [applause] congressman bob ands, phil johnson, generally may see -- jim. great people. tough congressman, i will tell

you that. they are for the workers. they are for the country. ohio, by our friends in my administration is fighting every day to protect and defend and grow american jobs. you see what is happening all over the country. it is in ohio but it is all over the country. paul right back plants and factories -- coming back to our country. can't come back fast enough. apple, they said 250 billion, i to 50t they said three million, but they are investing 350 billion dollars. so many others coming back with massive amounts of money. they want to be back in the usa. a lot left but they are coming back. we eliminated job killing

regulations and that is a reason why they are coming back. [applause] we are notrump: finished yet. in some cases yet statutory limitations where you have to go 30 days and wait" 90 days and wait and then go 15 days and wait, then you go 90 days again -- then you know what happens? we kill the regulation, and it is a thing of beauty. we have filled out every form of legal application and have a long way to go on regulation. will have regulations and you need relations for safety and the environment, but not where you could do anything and couldn't move. i think that has been a big success and a reason for our success. we made history by massively reducing job killing taxes. [applause]

president trump: we didn't have one democrat who voted for that. they want to raise your taxes and want people to come and from -- iorder, and they want can't imagine they want, but drugs are flowing across borders. we need walls and we started building our wall. 1.6 so proud of it, we have billion, and you saw the pictures yesterday, what a thing of beauty. on september 28 we go further and get that sucker built. you think that is easy? i never give up. we have done the planning, and you saw those beautiful pictures. the wall looks good and is properly designed. that is what i do as i built, i was good at building, it was my

best thing. better than being president, i was good at building. like you people, you are good at building. [applause] think i wouldp: i be better as president, that would be good. we are building a state of the art and very efficient -- we have to be able to see through, it makes sense who is on the other side. we have done prototypes all over, and we have something special happening. we have reversed the dangers of defense cuts and giving war fighters the tools and funding and the cremate they need to fight and win. [applause] president trump: we have -- we are building up our military to the highest level it has ever been, and it was not in good

shape. it is not going to be the highest level it has ever been. too.e way, that means jobs number one. it is a lot of jobs, millions of jobs. energy exports, at a record high, and foreign exports are at the forts -- lowest level in a decade. we have stood up for american workers by cracking down on unfair trade that steals jobs and plunders our wealth. you have stolen our wealth and jobs. they have stolen our plants and factories. no more. we are not letting other countries take advantage of us. even our friends took advantage -- they are wonderful people,

but we said you can't do that anymore. those days are over. friends did more damage than our enemies because we did not deal with our enemies, we dealt with our friends and we got incompetently. we are now finally putting america first. [applause] president trump: just this week we secured a wonderful deal with south korea. we were in a deal that was a horror show. it is going to produce 2000 jobs, and the dead, for them. that was a hillary clinton special, i hate to say. [laughter] jobs, going to produce and she was right, but it was for them, not us. so we have redundant and it is going to level the playing field for steel and cars and trucks

coming into this country. [applause] i may hold itp: up until after the deal is made with north korea. does everybody understand that? you know why? and ia very strong card, want to make sure everyone is treated fairly and we are moving along nicely with north korea. we'll see what happens. downhetoric has calmed a little bit. maybe it will be good and maybe at want, and if it is no good we are walking, and if it is good we will embrace it. it is going to be interesting the next period of time. north korea has been wonderful and will hold it up and see where it plays out.

we are keeping our promises, and the results are in. 3 million new jobs since election day. [applause] president trump: if i would have said that to you during the campaign, where we had tremendous support in this great state of ohio. if i would have said 3 million jobs, they would have said, the fake news -- he is exaggerating. [applause] unemploymentmp: claims are at the lowest level in 45 years. 45 years! [applause] president trump: african-american unemployment has reached the lowest levels ever recorded.

remember what i said, what do you have to lose? [applause] president trump: i am so happy about that. hispanic american unemployment rates has also reached the lowest levels ever recorded. [applause] wages aretrump: rising at the fastest level in more than a decade. finally. 19 years. 21 years. year, were making -- last less money they were making 20 years ago, and now wages are rising is more jobs are happening. very important -- just like we will have choice at the v.a. you can also have choice with jobs. our veterans are going to have choice, and you're going to have

choice with jobs. [applause] president trump: now with our friends in ohio, we are logic the next phase of america's economic comeback. we are going to rebuild america's crumbling infrastructure. [applause] we had a veryp: important election coming up, and they don't like the winds we are getting. the democrats don't like that the economy is so strong. not one vote on tax cuts, and they are now all saying, the tax cuts are tough. what they are saying to each other is not pretty if you are a democrat, and we should do well. history says that when you win the presidency that party does not do well in the midterms because people get complacent. we cannot be complacent.

we have the greatest economy, maybe ever in history. the greatest economy we have ever had. you know the expression from, i guess bill clinton, it is the economy, stupid. periodroduced at a short of time. if we altogether -- if we didn't win, this economy would be a wreck. they would have added more regulations. you wouldn't have to be million jobs, you probably would go negative. would have report to gdp, and it would have been below one. this country was headed in the wrong direction. we can't lose that by getting hurt in the midterms. we can't be complacent. there has never been an economy like this.

f1 says it is the most important thing. i don't know if it is or isn't, but politically they say it is the most important thing. we can't let anything happen to stop what we are doing and where we are going. all of the workers and all of the jobs, we want to keep them and want to protect our second amendment. you saw the other day -- [applause] where a verymp: important and respected, in some said we democrat, should get rid of our second amendment. you could be right about that. we are going to protect our second amendment. we have the best judges and we put a tremendous amount of

district judges. we are setting records -- appeals court judges. fantasticurt judge, justice gorsuch. [applause] president trump: your second amendment will always be your second amendment. we are not doing anything to that. [applause] president trump: we will brief you live into the very run down highways, and railways. will transform roads and bridges from a source of angeles frustration into a source of absolutely pride and we are going to do it all under budget and ahead of schedule. do you ever hear those words in the public world? under budget and ahead of schedule. [applause] president trump: fun of the

things i want to go into a detour -- one thing wasn't mentioned by folks in the back that we got recently into the bill was school safety. stop the school violence, and the great people of sandy took when did it so badly.- wanted it so andot rid of bump stocks bear under strict control, which everybody agrees is fine. we really did a job, and nobody reported it. if somebody else does it, it is a big story, but it didn't. fixing the background checks was so important and it is a very strong fix of background checks. i wanted to add that while we talk about infrastructure in school safety. what we gott of

approved, and another part so important to ohio. i know you have a bigger problem than most, and it is opioids and drugs. we got $6 billion that nobody talked about. 6 billion dollars to fight the opioid problem and the drug problem. [applause] and we got the: down payment of $1.6 billion on the wall, and other things. frankly, if we had more republican votes, would give away what we give away, which many people in this room, including me, don't like. things --ats want they don't want to focus on crime and borders and people pouring into our country. many of whom are people we don't want to come in. want a merit-based immigration

system and people to come on merit and not based on a lottery or you pick a ticket. [applause] president trump: there is no better place to begin the campaign of infrastructure than right here in ohio. site, theyf the art have been an awesome job in this building for the awesome skill of the american worker is forced and refined. [applause] insident trump: i have been construction building all my life, and i love it. i love the smell of a construction site. there is something about it. unionn't always get the leadership of the big unions, but we got the workers. some of those leaders had big problems because the workers were withdrawn -- were with trump. carpenters,sters,

and people who built buildings in manhattan and all over the place. the workers got it and now i think the leadership is getting it. [applause] you are goingp: to have a great friend, and i have proven it. i used to say you are going to have a friend, but now i have proven you have got a friend in the white house. that is what we are building all of these projects. [applause] president trump: so many of these projects which were just bad projects like the keystone pipeline. it was not going anywhere. hillary wasn't going to approve it. it was a good project. i got in right at the beginning, i approved that keystone xl pipeline. and i approved the dakota access pipeline. 48,000 jobs, environmentally

great. and itquick and easy, was done properly. that is better than trucking over roads and any other way -- and it wasn't going to get approved. there are so many jobs like that, you know those two because they are getting a lot of attention. the amazing thing is, i approved it with some commotion. some protest -- i approved it. the picketers picked up their stuff and left. it became amess, environmental wasteland, what they left. i approved it and they left. we did that on a lot of things. whether it is jerusalem where we approved jerusalem, that was a big thing.

every politician was and support, and then i begin president and all of a sudden it was jerusalem, i don't want to know anything about jerusalem -- what i fulfilled my campaign promises. i have to tell you, and a couple of people have said it best we are only intended 15 months -- i think i have approved much more than i promised, and no politician -- i have gotten done much more than i promised. things aroundtain the a lot of things i didn't promise because i figured it could not happen. now with so many of our great we areries and leaders, doing incredible things on health care, because obamacare is a disaster. we got rid of the individual mandate that forced you to spend money for the privilege of not having to pay for health insurance. figure that one out.

gone.gone folks, it is [applause] and thet trump: secretary of labor is doing an andedible plan for co-ops various different elements where you go in and get together as a group and get incredible health care, highly bid. are going to get so many different bids and you are going to get great health care at a very low price. there's way to be a lot of people signing up over the next couple of months. it is going to come out, nobody thought of it. and also its of people are going to get together and by their health care together. it is going to be so inexpensive, it is a thing of beauty. [applause] we have others.:

nearly 40% of our bridges were built before, think of this, before the first moon landing. you go to some countries, they are building bridges all over the place, one particular country, i will not do it -- use it because they were very friendly to me -- they are building 29 bridges. we do not build bridges much anymore. our roads are clogged the. -- clogged. average drivers spend 42 hours year, costing us s, nationwideollar we average 300 power outages a year compared to five per year in the 1980's.

a total mess. because thes is power companies have the money, they could not get their approval, they could not get their permits, for years and years, they are trying to get permits. now, they get them really fast. one man told me, what the hell happened, we have been fighting for years. one day, i got a call and we have been approved. damn thingt do a except trump got elected, that is about all. [applause] that is about all. how about -- being a builder, we can all talk as friends. look at these people back here, you better believe they are builders. [applause]

they are builders. i tell the story about keystone years they spent hundreds of millions of dollars, they were even ordering their pipe, everything is going great, they are going to build, and they do not get approved. they spend billions on pipe and they are not getting approved. so that was dead for a couple of years and no chance. i get elected, i approve it right at the very beginning. i say to myself, can you imagine the boss of whatever company it is who never actually called me to say thank you, but that is ok. [laughter] pres. trump: we will remember. this guy is sitting behind this beautiful chair, nice place, big company. consultants march into his office to tell him what a great

job they did print they were dead, i got them approved. i did it because there is 48,000 jobs between the two of them. it is better. [applause] sir, i believe we are entitled to attend million-dollar fee for that. they are probably democrats, can you believe it? [laughter] pres. trump: probably not for long however. americans have watched as spentgton as -- has trillions of dollars building other countries while allowing our own infrastructure to fall into a state of disrepair. look at korea. we have a border at korea and give a wall of soldiers. we do not get paid very much for this. you look at that. nobody comes through.

our own border, we do not take care of it. we spend billions of dollars in other countries maintaining their borders and we cannot to maintain our borders in our own country. is there something a little bit wrong with that? we spend billions and billions of dollars. north and south korea, 32,000 soldiers. their finest equipment, barbed wire all over the place, we protect that whole thing. but our country, we do not do it. now is the time to rebuild our rountry, to take care of ou people and to fight for our great american workers for a change. [applause]

pres. trump: we spent, and i was against it from the beginning it -- they tried to say, maybe not. i was against it from the beginning. by the way, we are knocking the hell out of isis. let the other people take care of it now. very soon. we are going to have 100% of the land -- we are taking it all back quickly. we are going to become a out of their real soon. we are going to get back to a country where he belong, where we want to be. think of it, we spent as of three months ago, $7 trillion, not billion, not million, 7 "t" -- we spent $7 trillion in the middle east.

we build a school, they blow it up. we build it again, they blow it up. we build it again, and has not been blown up again that it will be -- but it will be. if you want a school in ohio, you cannot get the money. --you want to school once a school in pennsylvania, iowa, you can i get the money. remember, i used to say keep the oil as a civilian. did anybody hear me say that? to gos before i decided on this journey with all of the. we never kept the oil. if we kept the oil, we would have been ok. if we kept the oil, we would have no isis. they kept the oil, we did not keep the oil. stupid. stupid.

trillion but we barely have money for the infrastructure. we have to fight for our military. we will be becoming so strong again and you watch, it is not going to take very long. i have asked republicans and democrats in congress to come together and deliver the biggest , boldest infrastructure plan and the last half-century. i do not think you are going to get democrats supports very much and you'll probably have to wait till after the election, which is not so long down the road. we are going to get this infrastructure going. unprecedented $1 trillion investment in infrastructure. [applause] the democrats, they do not give him any more wins.

regulations, cut taxes, supreme court, judges all over the place. over 100t in, we had federal judges that were not appointed. i do not know why obama left that. it was a big beautiful present to all of us. that?e hell did he leave maybe got complacent. 145 federal judges, 17 court of appeals judges, but think of it. is world changing, country changing, usa changing, and we are going all out. we have unbelievably talented, smart, great people being put in those slots. we were left they present. it was like the gift from heaven. we were left judges.

they are the ones who judge on your disputes. they judge on what is fair on the environment and what is not fair. amazing. it was the gift. thank you very much, president obama. we all appreciate it. [applause] pres. trump: what happened? how did he do that? we are going to be a repairing -- repairing roads, delivering clean water, and we are going to have beautiful air. we are not going to pay a trillion dollars to be in the paris accord where it puts us way back where we are put out a tremendous this advantage. that was a disaster. we could not use the kind of assets that we have.

we would have to close up factories and companies to qualify. we would have to pay large amounts of money to other countries because they were developing. as far as i am concerned, we are developing. pay us the money. [applause] we are developing. maybe we will call it redeveloping. it was unfair. investing into be our workers and improving our health care facilities for our incredible veterans. we have made a lot of progress with the veterans but i want to get them choice. they did not give us choice. the democrats do not want of vets to havehe choice. there is a six month wait -- vets are our greatest people. they've got a problem.

.t could be fixed by the time they see the doctor, it is over. we are going to have real choice. that is why i made some changes because i was not happy with the veteransh which our were taking care of. i was not happy with it. we made a law of progress with it. the accountability act. for decades they have been trying to get accountability. a bad judgey does and the veterans administration they could not do anything about it. they were protected. sadists thatist -- treated our vets horribly. they had people that could not work. i had passed the va accountability act and now when

they are bad to our vets or they are not working for our vets, we say jim, you are fired. get out. that was a big deal. [applause] pres. trump: no accountability. we got that passed. nobody talks about it. i am doing that for the vets. we made changes because we want them taking care of, we want them to have choice of they can run to a private doctor and take care of it. thank you, honey. we will always protect the people that have protected us, we have to. that goes for law enforcement. [applause] we are going to protect our law enforcement, our military, our vets. the plan i outlined in congress

is told on four principles. it can be passed in one bill or a series. what matters is that we get the job done. first, we will invest in the american worker. my council of economic advisers plan willthat our create up to 400,000 new infrastructure jobs immediately. [applause] workers without a college degree, these job offer wages that are 32% higher than other occupations. ande are great workers these are great paying jobs. i want more americans to learn from the best, just like you have really learned -- the people in this room -- so many of you have learned from the best and groundbreaking desperate the ship -- in

groundbreaking apprenticeship programs. [applause] become one: it has of the largest anywhere and america and we want to replicate your success all across the country. we are studying exactly what you have done here. that is why i'm asking congress to approve federal student aid to approve high-quality short training programs that equip americans to succeed in construction and a skilled trade. [applause] pres. trump: a word that you do not hear much but when i was growing up, we had vocational schools. they were not called community colleges because i do not know what that means. vocational -- and i tell people, call it vocational

from now on. it is a great word. call it vocational and technical, perhaps. people know what that means. we do not know what a community college means. we want every american to know the dignity of work, the pride of a paycheck, and the satisfaction of a job well done. [applause] pres. trump: speaking of a job well done, we have two of my daughters here today. ivanka who is working hard on infrastructure. and tiffany. [applause] pres. trump: america's greatest treasure is our people and i saw that during the campaign. they came from everywhere.

the member, they said there is no way that donald trump can get the people. now the democrats are trying to figure out who the hell you are. you know who you are? you are hard-working people, you off and you got sick and tired of the people you are supposed to be working for. but, you came out for us and now you are very happy. this was a movement like they have never seen before. they have never seen any movement like this. i appreciate it and you are going to appreciate it. you already do. thank you. we will completely transform the horrible and costly permitting process. it takes forever. it adds tremendous cost and years and years of the late to and for structure projects across the country.

one example of how broken the system is, secretary chao recently gave a final approval to an environmental review and that startedalaska all the way back in 1975. it has been going on for more than 40 years. we just got it, right? elaine? just got it. [applause] the people of alaska could not believe it. we will get rid of the bureaucracy that to wastes time and kills jobs. wonderful state that was going to be a quick easy road to build that was 17 years ago. it was going to cost a very small amount of money, couple million dollars. close to $300ting million, got their approvals

recently. the road is no longer a straight -- not good if you are not feeling so good behind the wheel. going to take another turn. it cost a lot of money and took many years and it is out of control. we are going to stop that nonsense. [applause] under our plan, every project will have one point of contact that will deliver one decision. yes or no for the entire federal government. yes or no. differentthrough agencies, labor, transportation, another one, another one, epa -- we have really streamlined. we have really made it possible for people to get things done. so many projects are under construction right now that would never in a million years

have gotten built. guess what, we also turned down projects if they are wrong. we know if they are wrong and they know if they are wrong. if you get turned down, you get turned down quickly. you do not go along for 15 or 18 or 22 years. some people spent an entire lifetime trying to get a project approved and they do not get it approved. their working career is mostly over. that cannot be a good feeling. how about that. if you get turned down, we will say it. america builds the empire state building in one year. actually like a nine months. the tallest building in the world at the time. now it can take 10 years just to get permits to build a roadway, a tunnel, a building. that is an insult to america's

great building heritage and we will not accept it. we are changing it rapidly. i hope to get it down to a one-year period. 20, andom two years to 18, and 15, but we are going to try to get it down even quicker. we are going to protect the environment and cut the permit approval time. we are going to get things done, , or wem belt, -- built are going to tell you no good for the environment, sorry. for the most part, it is going to happen. we are going to build infrastructure in rural communities which are too often left behind. they have been forgotten. we are going to spend a lot of money on the rural communities that have not been taking care of. these are incredible people. these are hard-working people.

they have not been taking care of by the democrats -- taken care of by the democrats. make sure every community has access to modern and for structure, including broadband internet which is been left out. [applause] -- which has been left out. [applause] pres. trump: very unfair. we will expand the reach of ur statedollars to o and local partnerships. plan calls for a new incentive program that provides billions of dollars of federal funding to projects in which state and local governments and the private sector are willing to invest their own resources as well as the federal government. there will be an incentive to get things done properly and in the right location.

combining the federal tax dollars with the resources of state and local governments and partnering with the private sector, ms. incentive program will kickstart -- this incentive program will --kstart neede needed programs. we have made so much progress. it is not progress that you read about. even if it were, you'd they would not print it anyway. i've signed an executive order to speed up permitting and to expand the rural broadband. funding forred more highways, airports, railroads, and our nations water. in addition to the $1.6 billion for the wall, we have got $21

billion approved for infrastructure in the current bill that people do not hear about. we have obtained from congress an additional $2 billion to improve veterans medical facilities. [applause] pres. trump: $2 billion for the veterans. has the opportunity to build on this momentum and to act on a commonsense plan that will make our economy stronger, our roads faster, and our families favor. safer.our families we want safety. [applause] pres. trump: it is a stronger american. of our history, american infrastructure was the envy of the world. years, they40, 50 would look at us like -- now, we

are like in many cases a third world country -- it is an embarrassment. we are the ones who had the imagination and the drive to get it done. other nations marveled as we shores withr transcontinental railroads and brought power to our cities that lit up the sky. mile of mile after interstate highways to carry american products all across the country and around the globe. nobody did it like us. --dug out the pana mocon now the panama canal. thousands of lives were lost to the mosquito, malaria. withansformed our skyline

towering works of concrete and steel. and laid the foundation for the modern economy. to rebuild this nation, we must reclaim that proud heritage. we have to reclaim it. [applause] pres. trump: we are on our way. we must recapture the excitement of creation, the spirit of innovation, and the spark of invention. we are starting. he saw the rocket the other day, you see what is going on with , space agency, all of a sudden it is back. it was dormant for many years. now it is back. we are trying to have the private sector invest the money. why the hell should we do it? as they want to send the rocket ships up, they are rich, let them do it.

when i look at the rocket that went up three weeks ago where the tanks came back, nobody has ever seen -- it looks like star wars -- but i looked at it and i heard the costs. $85 million. i thought it was a fantastic thing. we are working with the private sector and nasa. we are doing a great job. we have made so much progress in the last year. it is just been a little bit more than a year. we have made so much progress and other people are putting up a lot of money. they are using our facilities. i feel like a landlord again. [applause] pres. trump: we are leasing them facilities. and they are doing a great job. america is a nation of builders, pioneers, a nation that accepts no limits, no

hardship, and never, ever gives up. we do not give up. [applause] will tear down every obstacle, break down every barrier, and stared down -- stare down every challenge because our hearts bleed red, white, and blue. we love our great american flag, don't we? [applause] pres. trump: anything we can dream, you can build. you will create the new highways, the new dams and skyscrapers that will become a lasting monuments to american strength and continued greatness. you will forge new american steel into the sign of our company -- the spine of our country.

you will do it all with those beautiful american hands, powerful hands, powerful hearts, and powerful american pride. [applause] you are the ones who share our shaping and destiny. you are the ones who are restoring our prosperity and pride. you are restoring pride in this country again. our country had very little pride. look back, see what was happening. our country had very little pride. you look at what is going on in california, orange county. they have had it. there is a revolution going on out there. sanctuary cities where they protect criminals, murderers, people that you do not want a streets. other places in california said, we do not want that.

the first time that they are speaking up. , i calledat roseanne her yesterday. look at her ratings. [applause] got a call from mark burnett, he did the apprentice. he said, i call just to say hello and to tell you did you see roseanne's ratings? i said, how big where they? he said, over 18 billion people. the "fake news" has not figured it out yet. that was great. they have not figured it out but they well. when they do, they'll become much less fake. [applause] pres. trump: you are the ones who are truly making america great again. orkare going to w

together. we are going to bring our country to a level of success and prominence and pride like it has never ever seen before. thank you and god bless america. [applause]
